What scenes were missing from Prometheus? Director Ridley Scott stated that the Blu-ray release of his quasi-Alien prequel film will indeed feature an extended cut but will it answer any of those pesky continuity questions?

Compiling the running time of all 14 deleted scenes, we have nearly 40 minutes of material that was cut from the theatrical release. In addition to that, there will be a Director's Cut included on the release (or maybe separately) which could add even more additional material.

Prometheus is an American science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof. The film stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. The plot follows the crew of the spaceship Prometheus in the year 2085, as they explore an advanced alien civilization in search of the origins of humanity.

Conceived as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, rewrites of Spaihts' script by Lindelof developed a separate story that precedes the events of Alien, but which is not directly connected to the films in the Alien franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus will explore its own mythology and ideas. Principal photography began in March 2011, with filming taking place in England, Iceland, and Spain. Prometheus is scheduled for release between May 30 and June 8, 2012 in various territories through 20th Century Fox.

Looking at the Scott interview linked it sounds like 20 odd mins on the film and 20 on the menu's extras - totalling 40 mins. NOT 40 mins on the film. I can't see something on a seamless branching Director's Cut over the extended version.... or is it the same thing?, maybe someone can clarify.

I hope we get a Directors Cut with all these deleted scenes put back in the film, it bugs me sometimes to watch a movie and have to go back and watch the deleted scenes in special features seperately...specially if some of the deleted scenes are awesome and shouldve stayed in the film.

Can't believe this many people are hating this movie, some people just don't have an imagination I guess but this movie was amazing and I can't wait to buy it. They leave questions unanswered cause they have to leave something for a sequel, if they answer everything the sequel won't be as surprising.

One of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I really do not understand why more people did not like this movie. I know some of you do not care what critics think but Prometheus is 73% "certified fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes (182 positive reviews). Many critics loved it, including Roger Ebert. I thought it answered enough questions, especially if you are familiar with the alien universe. Amazing technical detail,visual effects, great acting,good script/story telling; what is not to like? I will definitely be buying this on Blu-ray 3D!

truly, this was a great summer for movies, and Prometheus 3D Imax was a top experience.

i love that redletter media spoof, but despite a few holes (i'm torn between the debate on backstory not in film is not a valid excuse VS art that explains itself is obnoxious), my favorite part of the film was the discussion, queries, and dissecting my friend and i had the entire walk home.

fiction that forces me to question answers? now that's my favorite kind of film experience. also, such a fun ride!

I cannot wait for the day where I get to hold Avengers, The Amazing Spider-man, Prometheus and The Dark Knight Rises all in my hands on Blu-Ray. All great movies within there own film making style. It will be a great day, a great one indeed.
